How Does Phil Fulmer Rate This Extension? - And Response
posted July 2, 2008

The school board was raked over the coals for extending the contract of school superintendent Jim Scales. So far, he's made steady significant progress towards fixing the system he inherited.

So this may be a dumb question for a Vol fan to ask, but where is the outrage over Coach Fulmer's six-year contract extension and raise to $3 million? Bruce Pearl has more than earned his raise, but when was the last time Fulmer took UT to a BCS bowl...1999?

Just a little food for thought.

Craig Carroll brings up an interesting question about how a UT coach can go nine years without an SEC championship and get a raise to $2.4 million.

Let's see, Bowden Wyatt went six years without one and was fired.

Bill Battle went seven years without one and was fired.

Johnny Majors wins three in his last eight years and is fired.

Guess it pays to be a business partner with the big money guys.
